Samenvatting
This study analyses several questions about the relationship between involvement with drugs and the risk of conviction for serious traffic offences. In addition, the question of whether prior sanctions by the criminal justice system affects the subsequent probability of conviction for serious traffic offenders is also examined. The data set is the Youth Cohort of the National Longitudinal Survey, collected by Ohio State University. The information on deviant behaviour and on contact with the criminal justice system is based on self report data.
